Veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen was waived by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday after the 35-year-old posted just eight catches for 69 scoreless yards across 11 games this season in his return to the organization.

New England Patriots insider Chad Graff of The Athletic speculated whether the AFC East leaders would have interest in the two-time Pro Bowler, citing connections between Thielen and members of Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff.

“Adam Thielen wants to finish his last NFL season with a playoff team. Depending on health with Patriots WRs, I wonder if they’d consider him,” Graff posted on Bluesky. “Thielen overlapped...

The New England Patriots could be without three starting offensive lineman for their matchup with the New York Giants on Monday.

Garrett Bradbury (illness) was added to the injury report just hours before kickoff, with the club designating him as questionable to play.

Will Campbell (knee) and Jared Wilson (ankle) are already set to miss the matchup, with the former landing on injured reserve last week and the latter having already been ruled out.

Vederian Lowe and Ben Brown are slated to start in place of the rookie duo at left tackle and left guard, respectively, though things would change...

It wasn’t long ago the Colts posed a real threat to the Patriots amid New England’s quest for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Indianapolis, though, no longer feels like an obstacle.

That’s in part because the Colts suffered a second consecutive loss in Week 13 and thus fell behind the Jaguars in the AFC South standings. It’s also because Indianapolis star cornerback Sauce Gardner, who was acquired before the NFL trade deadline, is expected to miss multiple weeks with a calf injury.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Gardner will likely miss “a few weeks” but avoided a...

The New England Patriots spent the weekend preparing for their Monday Night Football clash with the New York Giants, but that wasn’t all Stefon Diggs was doing. On Saturday, Diggs celebrated his 32nd birthday and received a unique birthday present from his girlfriend, Cardi B, that went viral on social media.

While Diggs’ play on the field for the Patriots has turned heads, off the field, his relationship with the popular hip-hop musician has caught attention as well. Cardi B attended the team’s win over the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 2, and just two days later, she gave birth to...

The New England Patriots may have suffered some high-profile injuries recently, but they managed to stay the course so far. As a result, they are entering their Week 13 Monday night matchup with the New York Giants not just as the owners of a nine-game win streak but also as big favorites.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Patriots are seen as a touchdown favorite over the visiting Giants and therefore projected to enter their bye week on a high note.

Odds for Patriots vs. Giants in NFL Week 13

• Spread: Patriots -7.5
• Moneyline: Patriots -375 | Giants...

The New England Patriots’ return to Monday Night Football will see them go up against what is on paper an inferior opponent. While they are entering Week 13 with a 10-2 record, the New York Giants are only 2-10 and already eliminated from playoff contention.

That said, there is not taking the Giants lightly. They have played competitive football on offense, and are talented if underperforming on defense. Add the fact that the Patriots will be without the entire left side of their offensive line for that one, and you will get a game that might end up being more...

The New England Patriots will wrap up Week 13 of the 2025 NFL campaign with a clash against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. And ahead of this game, the Pats have one clear goal that they are looking to accomplish when they take the field: win.

With the Denver Broncos pulling out an overtime victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, they have moved back into the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the time being. The Patriots, of course, can reclaim that spot by beating the Giants.

Considering how N.E. has its bye...

The New England Patriots did not exactly enjoy a weekend off, but they were able to watch the action unfold from afar before their Monday night matchup with the New York Giants. What they saw was the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff picture remaining highly contested: thanks to a 27-26 overtime win, the Denver Broncos are now in the top spot again, meaning that the Patriots will need to win to regain the upper hand heading into their bye week.

In order to do so, they will have to beat a Giants team that has...

For the first time this season, the New England Patriots will enter a game without fourth overall pick Will Campbell starting at left tackle.

After getting rolled up in last week’s win in Cincinnati, Campbell was placed on injured reserve and will now miss a minimum of four games. That turns Drake Maye’s blindside over to backup Vederian Lowe, who played 28 snaps in relief of Campbell against the Bengals.

Entering a Monday night matchup against the New York Giants, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has confidence in his new left tackle.

“V-Lowe has done a nice job. I can’t comment...

The New England Patriots are in a position to enter their Week 14 bye as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. In order to do so, however, they will have to overcome some recent injuries: Monday night’s game against the New York Giants will see them miss their left tackle (Will Campbell), left guard (Jared Wilson), starting defensive tackle (Milton Williams), and All-Pro special teamer (Brenden Schooler). Even against a two-win team, overcoming those losses will not be easy.

And yet, Patriots fans continue feeling good about the team. While confidence did decrease slightly since last week — from...
